“Lee did a great job caring for our three cats and guinea pigs. Leaving town is extremely stressful for me given how much I love my animals, and her care made the experience much easier.”
2. Misty D.

3. Milo W.
“Milo is the best! There is no one our dogs love more!”
4. Madison T.
“Madison was excellent. I was a bit nervous as Rascal just began some medications a couple weeks before and we haven't needed pet sitters before, but Madison calmed my nerves and walked me through all the steps she takes as a sitter which was so fantastic. She communicated with us, provided great updates, and Rascal really did well with someone else caring for him. He can be stubborn when eating and she was very patient with him!! Highly recommend.”
5. Brittney G.
“We were so nervous to use Rover for the first time! Brittney was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet with our babies and was attentive and understanding with their needs. She sent us lots of photos of our pets and a little summary of her visit with them. Our boys were loved on and happy in her care and that's all we wanted from Rover. We highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
6. Taylor W.
“Taylor cares for animals as if they were his own. He has a variety of experience with both regular and exotic pets, and has always stepped in to help when needed. His prior experience of helping train dogs makes him an excellent caretaker and his calm demeanor allows animals to feel comfortable around him. He is a clean, responsible, and caring animal lover.”
7. Sam B.
“Sam is a very friendly and reliable dog sitter. My Dogs love lots of interaction and can be pretty needy. Sam always gives them the attention they need and is very flexible with my schedule. I would highly recommend Sam if you need a responsible and attentive caregiver.”

“Kay was exceptional when we hired her to watch our menagerie of animals. She is a responsible kid with a head on her shoulders! We'd ask hwr back for sure.”
10. Savannah L.
“Both of our cats immediately felt comfortable with her. She was also great about some of the more high maintenance aspects of one of our cats and adapted easily when he suddenly became a picky eater.”
11. Joshua S.
“Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.”

About: Hi there! I’m active duty military and the epitome of a cat person! I’ve been deemed a cat whisperer! But I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me either!

14. Fallon M.
About: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. I currently work Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.
15. Sienna R.
About: I’ve never lived in a home without animals, they’re just apart of my life. I have a very high maintenance dog myself, who I give walks to twice a day. So I’m willing to put in the work to give your dogs what they need as well! I do currently work part time as a bank teller, so the days I do work I am not home for an 8 hour stretch, other than coming home for lunch for an hour M, W_TH. I do hope to eventually make THIS my full time gig though. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your pups to run. Excercise is a big thing in our home since we do have a Husky with very high energy so we're always playing or doing some training activities. They will also be welcomed with open arms by our fur babies!
16. Baile R.
“Baile is a huge animal lover. She has quite a few pets herself that are all very spoiled. She currently comes over to groom my very temperamental short haired mail cat and also routinely trims my English Mastiff's nails since she is a big baby and does not like going to the vet. Baile is always my choice when we go out of town for our 4 fur babies. We have a boxer, mastiff, and two cats. They all love her and I trust her to attend to their needs like they were her own.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.
19. Adrienne R.
About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.
20. Julie C.
“Julie took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation. She sent me updates every day and took the time to play with my rowdy 2-year-old cat to help him release his pent-up energy. It was great knowing that they were in such good hands while I was away!”
